Family Home Evening in the Garden!

How fun for us tonight! Some of our kids showed up at the house tonight for Family Home Evening - ready to plant the garden! It was so fun to watch everyone go to work together... the little kids helped and worked (and played)hard! Oakley was a real champ! He hauled water from the stream to water the plants with until Matt hooked up the hose for us! He must have run from the garden to the stream 30 times! Becca and Levi and Heather put together a yummy dinner and we all really enjoyed it! We planted about 36 tomato plants and spaghetti squash and lots of zucchini and yellow squash! We can hardly wait for it to get growing! Hopefully the weather is going to start being good...it has been so cold and rainy! Imagine turning on the fireplace in June? Who does that? (just twice... but it was chilly in the morning!)
It's so great to have a family! We love you all so much and appreciate all that you do for us!
We feel very blessed to have the family we do!
Thanks to all of you!

Matt and Jenny..."what the heck are these?"

Muddy Buddies!

Nate is going to town with the tiller! Who said that tiller was broken?
Ryan looking fine...in the dirt! That kid can weed!
Oops Mason...too much mud buddy!
If they had the keys....we would have been in real trouble!
